Local felines gathered in their den Wednesday for the weekly feed and growl. No. 1 Lion Ron Warren welcomed the club and called on Don Smith to lead pledges, Travis Thornton and Jim Tirey to lead singing and Linda Morris to offer the blessing.

Queen Kaitlyn Brownlee introduced guests as former member Dick Delung with Larry McNutt, Eddie Gonzales with John Bertsch, Julie Martinez with Adriana Martinez and Walter Faust with Paulette Manning.

Lions queens candidates applications still are being accepted. Current high school juniors are urged to submit their names to counselors for acceptance into the contest.

Lions are requested to volunteer their services for one hour on Tuesdays for the next three weeks to read to first graders at La Mesa and Plainview Christian Academy.

Readers are to come to College Heights Baptist Church, Ninth and Quincy, by 3:45 on those dates for the one-hour sessions. We serve - Ron White
